| Description of the problem | Bought my jeep brand new in june 2018. Within the first month, the usb port that connects to car play would connect then disconnect when it rained. Took car to dealership and they said they couldn't identify the issue unless i brought it is when the problem happened and showed them. Which i couldn't because they were always closed when the problem occurred. Within that same month, when i pressed on the brakes it sounded like there was air in the brake line. Every so often, the satellite radio will cut out and say "acquiring signal". Car has also stalled out on me 3 times while driving. Twice beforehand, when i made a sharp right turn, the oil light would pop on for literally 2 seconds and go off. Car would stall out and when i checked the dip stick, it showed i had barely any oil. Manual says every 6000 miles. Oil runs out before the 6000 mile mark. If i knew i'd be paying out so much in oil , i wouldn't have paid so much for this stupid truck. Its a complete rip off. One of the times it stalled out, i was making a left hand turn with my children in the car. It stalled out just as i was turning and a car was coming in the opposite direction and almost hit me. There has been nothing but issue after issue with the vehicle to which the dealership would tell me theres nothing wrong with the vehicle when i took it there. Or that they cant fix it uuntil i can reenact the problem for them |
